Unmade: The Half-Made World
Most people buy books on the recommendation of people they know. This is because so many books are crap. You need somebody to take that first hit for you. Somebody’s gotta take the chance on buying a $25-30 hardcover to make sure it doesn’t suck. I picked up The Half-Made World on recommendation from @MadHatterReview.

The Warrior’s Way: Ninja Assassins and Blowing Shit Up in the Old West

What’s On Your Bookshelf: Why I’m Still Holding Out On Buying an E-Reader
The local Books & Co. had several Nooks on display the other day. I’ve resisted e-readers for lots of reasons, but mostly because of Amazon’s weird “You bought it but we can take it away” thing. If I download a book, I want to download it like a PDF. A file that’s mine. No DRM.
